Egypt Unearths New Mummies Dating Back 2,500 Years
埃及发掘出2500年前的新木乃伊
Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed more than 100 delicately painted wooden coffins, some with mummies inside, and 40 funeral statues in the ancient burial ground of Saqqara, the Egyptian antiquities authorities said, calling the discovery the largest find at the site this year.
埃及考古学家发掘出100多具精美图案的木质棺材，一些里面有木乃伊，在古老的萨卡拉墓地里有40个葬礼雕像，埃及文物局称，这是今年该遗址最大的发现。
The sealed, wooden coffins, some containing mummies, date as far back as 2,500 years and are “in perfect condition of preservation,” Khaled el-Enany, the Egyptian minister of tourism and antiquities, told reporters in Saqqara on Saturday. The fine quality of the coffins meant that they were probably the final resting places for the wealthiest citizens, officials said.
这些密封的木质棺材中有一些是木乃伊，它们的历史可以追溯到2500年前，保存得非常完好。埃及旅游和文物部长哈立德周六在萨卡拉告诉记者。官员们表示，这些棺材的高质量意味着，它们可能是最富有的人的最后安息之所。
Other artifacts discovered include funeral masks, canopic jars and amulets.
其他文物还包括丧葬面具、卡诺匹斯罐和护身符。
“This discovery is very important because it proves that Saqqara was the main burial of the 26th Dynasty,” Zahi Hawass, an Egyptologist, told the magazine Egypt Today, referring to the rulers from about the mid 600s B.C. to 525 B.C. It would also enrich existing knowledge about mummifications in that period, he added.
“这个发现非常重要，因为它证明了萨卡拉是第26王朝的主要埋葬地。” 埃及古物学家扎希·哈瓦斯告诉《今日埃及》杂志，这个发现大约是在公元前600年到公元前525年的统治者，他补充说，这也将丰富关于这一时期木乃伊的现有认知。
The artifacts and coffins will eventually be exhibited at several museums in Egypt, including the Grand Egyptian Museum, a sprawling archaeological center under construction near the Giza Pyramids that is expected to open next year.
这些文物和棺材最终将在埃及的几家博物馆展出，其中包括大埃及博物馆。大埃及博物馆是一个庞大的考古中心，位于吉萨金字塔附近，预计将于明年开放。
Saqqara, a city about 20 miles south of Cairo, is a vast necropolis for the Old Kingdom capital of Memphis, and it has long been the source of major archaeological finds. Made a UNESCO world heritage site in the 1970s, the necropolis holds more than a dozen burial sites, including the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first known burial pyramid.
开罗以南约20英里处的萨卡拉是古王国首都孟菲斯的一个巨大墓地，长期以来它一直是主要考古发现的来源。
The discovery announced on Saturday is the most recent in a series of historical finds at the site. Officials said in October that they had found 59 intact coffins.
周六宣布的这一发现是该遗址一系列历史发现的最新发现。官员们在10月份表示，他们已经发现了59具完整的棺材。
More discoveries are predicted at the site, with archaeologists expecting to find in 2021 an ancient workshop that prepared bodies for mummification.
预计该遗址还会有更多发现，考古学家预计2021年将发现一个为木乃伊制作尸体的古代作坊。
According to a Times database, Egypt has reported 110,547 total virus cases, with an average of 226 new infections per day over the last week. The country reopened its borders to visitors in July.
根据《纽约时报》的数据库，埃及报告的总新冠病毒病例为110,547例，过去一周平均每天新增病例226例。今年7月，该国重新向游客开放了边境。

We can learn about the art, and in the case of Egypt how views towards psychology and philosophy changed over the course of a thousand years. We can learn about what life was like, how they ate, how they worked, their medicine, their language, their perspective on the world.
我们可以了解艺术，以埃及为例，人们对心理学和哲学的看法是如何在一千年的过程中发生变化的。我们可以了解他们的生活是什么样子的，他们怎么吃，怎么工作，他们用的药，他们的语言，他们对世界的看法。

better to burn the bodies like us Indians rather than to be decimated and humiliated thousands of years later by some so called archeologists understanding history by unburying the dead without permission.
最好像我们印第安人那样烧掉尸体，而不是在几千年后被一些理解历史的所谓考古学家屠杀和羞辱，他们没有得到允许就把死者挖出来了。
diogenesdog
The obvious answer is to learn about ancient history and cultures, to preserve world heritage in a museum to prevent looting. Not that hard if you think even for a moment.
显而易见的答案是了解古代历史和文化，将世界遗产保存在博物馆中以防止劫掠。如果你仔细想一会儿，这并不难。

King Richard III was literally found under a parking lot. This isn't new for the British.
Archaeologists are from all over the planet and of many races.
The only reason we know so much about history is because of archaeology.
Take a class and learn something, bud.
理查三世确实是在一个停车场下被发现的。这对英国人来说并不新鲜。
考古学家来自世界各地，来自许多种族。
我们对历史了解如此之多的唯一原因是考古学。
去上课学点东西吧，伙计。

They should still at least leave them in their resting place after examining them. Would you want people just moving you around after youve died and been buried?
在检查完它们之后，至少应该把它们留在他们休息的地方。你希望在你死后被埋葬后人们只是把你搬来搬去吗?
Cédric guindon
Your ancestor ? Are you ancient egyptian ?? I dont think so, the ancient egyptian are not alive anymore today, juste like the ancient roman, the ancien greek etc.
你的祖先? 你是古埃及人吗? 我不这么认为，古埃及人现在已经不存在了，就像古罗马人和古希腊人一样。

Actually according to the documentary on Netflix native Egyptians were conducting the archeology. Yes they were underfunded and pressured to find artifact$ but in that process they rushed the job in an unprofessional manner to meet deadlines for further funding
实际上，根据Netflix的纪录片，当地埃及人正在进行考古工作。是的，他们是资金不足的，被迫找到一份工件，但在这个过程中，他们以一种不专业的方式匆忙的工作，以满足最后的期限
Tux the helmsman
Lol. You can absolutely go to England and dig up the cemeteries from that era if you are an archeologist and get the permit (Stonehenge anyone?). Hope you find something good! Good luck!
如果你是一名考古学家，并且得到许可，你完全可以去英国，把那个时代的墓地挖出来，希望你能找到好东西!好运！
Genea78 (they/them)
If you watch the documentary on Netflix, you’ll find out that the entire team is Egyptian.
如果你在Netflix上看这部纪录片，你会发现整个团队都是埃及人。

I don’t think we should be giving too much of a shit about thousands of years old beings who killed thousands of slaves
我不认为我们应该对几千年前杀死成千上万奴隶的人类太过在意

Imagine having your body exhumed and examined a thousand years later by some nerds. I know it probably would be for archeological purposes but damn, better not be my body (got no reason but please don’t disturb my dead body).
想象一下，一千年后，你的身体被一些书呆子挖出来检查。我知道这可能是出于考古目的，但该死的，最好不要是我的身体(没有理由，但请不要打扰我的尸体)。
Md L'amante del caffè
Depends on how you die and what they do to your body. If you die homeless and as a drug addict in the street you might end up in a fancy medschool for anatomy class also if you die in the forrest wild animals will eat every remain leaving nothing for future nerds to exhume.
这取决于你的死亡方式以及它们对你身体的影响。如果你死在街头，无家可归，成为一个吸毒者，你可能会在医学院的解剖学课程中，如果你死在森林，野生动物会吃掉所有的残留物，也不会留下任何东西供未来的书呆子挖掘。
EQUALITY OR RACIsm
What if this was just their normal caskets? It would be like folks digging up your grandma in AD 5050 when everyone only burns their dead.
如果这只是他们平常的棺材呢?这就像人们在公元5050年把你的奶奶挖出来一样，那时每个人都只把死者烧死。
mary valletta keith
I'm not superstitious, but how would these guys feel if their loved ones' coffins were exhumed and their bodies gawked at?
我不是迷信，但如果他们所爱的人的棺材被挖出来，他们的尸体被呆呆地看着，这些人会有什么感觉呢?
Sep
say "y isnt there a problem with this but it's a problem when we move other ppl's graves?" there rly isn't. It changes nothing for me or anyone else if you were to go move the grave of say, King Cyrus from iran, unless u were trying to ruin it or break shit.
你可以说:“这不是有问题吗?但是当我们移别人的坟墓时，这是一个问题?” 这对我或任何人来说都没有任何改变，如果你要去为伊朗的赛鲁士国王搬墓，除非你想破坏它。

Y'all keep on waking up long buried demons with diseases . They will be up in arms to devour us all soon. Let them sleeping evil sleep please!!
你们都在不断地唤醒被埋已久的恶魔和疾病。他们很快就会拿起武器把我们全部吞掉。让他们恶睡吧!!
Ticked Republican
You realize you are violating their right to rest in peace. What the hell is wrong with people... You're curious so that's ok???
你意识到你侵犯了他们安息的权利。人们到底是怎么了…很好奇，这样好吗?

how old does a “dig site” have it be for it to stop being being grave robbing and become archaeology? smh just leave them be
一个“挖掘点”要多久才能停止被盗墓而成为考古学? 就让他们去吧
Robert Chou
When they opened the wooden coffin, what do you think of? Sitting up!
当他们打开木棺的时候，你想到了什么?坐起来了!
bobby
Yeah this is super cool and interesting and what not but there’s something that doesn’t sit well with me digging up ancient burial grounds
是的，这是非常酷和有趣的事，但是有些事情我不太喜欢，就是挖掘古代墓地
JJG,
What sanitary measures do they take to prevent disease? Since there may be sporulated microorganisms
他们采取了什么卫生措施来预防疾病? 因为可能有孢子微生物
Kathryn Shelton
Is there a reason to even do this? This is completely just wrong! Someone with some power needs to speak up.
这样做有什么理由吗? 这是完全错误的!有权力的人应该站出来说话。
Robert Rogers
All those people will be dead in a week. Everyone knows that digging up ancient mummies brings bad luck
所有这些人都将在一周内死去。每个人都知道挖掘古代木乃伊会带来厄运
K-Staff
This Public exhumation just feels wrong and potentially problematic to the mummies and artifacts themselves. If you have the potential for distraction and thus potential mishandling of the obxts and people, this doesn’t seem like a purely scientific endeavor.
只是感觉这种公开的挖掘对木乃伊和文物本身是错误和有潜在的问题。因为工作时你有可能分心，因此可能对物体和人处理不当，这似乎不像是一个纯粹的科学研究。
AspiringPot Head
May sound like a strange thought to pop in one's mind but I wonder if modern-day Egyptians would feel as comfortable digging up these bodies if these ancient civilizations were Muslim? Or would their funerary rites be respected more and not subjected to this desecration?
这听起来可能有点奇怪，但我想知道如果这些古代文明是穆斯林的话，现代埃及人挖出这些尸体是否也会觉得舒服呢? 或者他们的丧葬仪式会受到更多的尊重而不会受到这种亵渎吗?
Beate de Nijs
maybe their last wishes and the ancient bury culture should be respected and they should be left R.I.P.
也许他们的遗愿和古老的埋葬文化应该得到尊重，他们应该被留下
Urszula Sierpinska
Is anyone not superstitious, yet after the first half of 2020 a bit annoyed about people opening up mummy coffins?
有人不迷信吗?然而，在2020年上半年，人们打开木乃伊棺材的举动让人有点恼火。
Gary Revel
Yes, there is something very basic and fundamentally wrong with a Democratic-Republic that lets an evil psychopath like Trump become their governmental leader. We simply have to pass some new laws and restrict who can become President from now on.
是的，让一个像特朗普这样邪恶的精神病患者成为他们的政府领导人，这个民主共和国有一些非常根本的错误。我们只需要通过一些新的法律来限制从现在起谁可以成为总统。
Kiki
Did the movie The Mummy teach them ANYTHING?????? Welp guys, pack it in- 2021 is probably cursed now too
电影《木乃伊》教会了他们什么吗? 伙计们，2021年可能也被诅咒了
Niganni
They should leave these coffins alone. They already know the burial practices of the Egyptians....this is just exploiting grave sites now. Let them Rest In Peace....just map out the graves but leave the graves alone now.
他们应该别管这些棺材。他们已经知道了埃及人的埋葬习惯…现在这只是在挖掘墓地。让他们安息吧……只要在地图上标出坟墓就行了，现在就别管这些坟墓了。
Eric Beckwith II
This is not the year. We have a month and a half if this nightmare, don’t extend it into 2021. Put em back! Lol.
这不是今年。如果这场噩梦延续到2021年，我们还有一个半月的时间。把他们放回去!哈哈

Archeology or grave diggers Woozy face Rather than preservation of their home, they are exposing them to polluted world.
考古学家或掘墓人不是为了保护他们的家园，而是把他们暴露在污染的世界里。
Mr. JayBuggy
I'm pretty sure all of us here have watched at least one of the mummy's movies right? So, we all know what happens next. Lol
我敢肯定在座的各位都至少看过一部木乃伊电影，对吧?所以，我们都知道接下来会发生什么。哈哈
CDubbs
I understand the curiosity- but these are the resting places for the dead. They should not be disturbed.
我理解人们的好奇心，但这里是逝者安息的地方。他们不应该被打扰。
ℐohnnyℬravo
But why?... Why not just all these people to rest un peace?... Think you your grave being disturbed and digged up 1000 years after you died
但是为什么?…为什么不让这些人安息呢? 在你死后一千年，你的坟墓被人挖了出来
ECACEtv
I love science, so many amazing things have been discovered, but are we doing the right thing by disturbing the dead?
我热爱科学，已经发现了那么多令人惊奇的事情，但是我们打扰死者是正确的吗?

Remember they opened something similar about a year ago and boom the corona arrived
记得一年前他们打开了类似的东西，然后新冠病毒来了
Marco Montana
Wow thats amazing, however I have this creepy feeling some bug or bacteria spore will be released!
哇，太神奇了，但是我有一种毛骨悚然的感觉，一些虫子或细菌孢子将被释放!

i going to wake up tomorrow and head down to the cemetery and start digging up the the dead for my personal pleasure. smfh
明天一早醒来，我就要去墓地，开始挖掘死者的尸体，这是我个人的乐趣。
Kronos
But what you find should be buried 3000 years ago - still as if it was buried yesterday- even the coffins retain their colors and inscxtions
但你发现的东西应该是3000年前埋的，就像昨天埋的一样，甚至棺材的颜色和铭文都还保留着
WhiteRoseRevolt
There is a lot that we can learn from the bodies left behind by past cultures, but the sheer circus of events like this is shameful. These were people, who loved and were loved like us ourselves. If we must disturb the dead, can we not show a little bit of respect?
我们可以从过去文化遗留下来的尸体身上学到很多东西，但像这样纯粹的开棺材是可耻的。这些人，像我们一样有爱，也需要被爱。如果我们一定要去打扰死者，难道我们不能表现出一点尊重吗?
Francesco Cerretti
Grave robbing is someone who destroy usually non-precious things and keep for themselves the artifact.
In this case it is an archeological study, with museums and universities and the porpouse is to understand better that ancient civilization.
盗墓者通常会破坏一些不值钱的东西，然后把这些东西留给自己。
在这种情况下，它是一个考古研究，博物馆和大学是为了更好地了解古代文明。
ChelliseB
I don’t think 2020 is the year to be opening these
我不认为2020年能够做这些事情
Krista
Unfortunately now that they've been found, someone would just dig them back up again to steal the caskets and even their wrappings. Maybe even to steal the mummies to sell to some unethical museum. They'd have to create a special cemetery for them and guard it.
不幸的是，现在他们已经被发现了，有人会再次把他们挖出来偷棺材甚至他们的装饰。甚至偷木乃伊卖给不道德的博物馆。他们必须为他们建造一个特殊的墓地并加以保护。
